“Galettes,” wrote former F&W editor Margaret Eby, “are pie when you’ll be able to’t cope with pie.” And their rustic, unfussy allure is far of their enchantment: no must stress over making them look too polished. Within the U.S., a galette often signifies a freeform tart made with pie-style pastry dough. Merely roll out the crust, pile on the filling, and fold over the perimeters to carry it collectively. It’s a straightforward and scrumptious strategy to exhibit seasonal fruit, or layer savory greens with meat or cheese.
“What I like about galettes is that they’re so user-friendly,” says 2015 F&W Greatest New Chef Katie Button. “Irrespective of the way you fold or crimp them, they at all times look lovely; in actual fact, the extra rustic they appear, the prettier they appear to be.”
Gail Simmons’ first iteration of her rustic galette recipe was a riff on the ratatouille served at her wedding ceremony — one made by her former boss, 1988 F&W Greatest New Chef Daniel Boulud. She now modifies this recipe with the seasons, filling it with paper-thin slices of squash and root greens in colder months.
